Overview

So coastal California. The shape of the hills from the underlying geology, the dryness, the road that does not encourage stopping...

My European trained eyes are still surprised some mornings

Yes, this is somewhat close to the coast (maybe 20 miles), but the climate is quite a bit different than on the coast. I feel this image does not look sharp? I wonder if it is because I had to resize it to get in in (I usually use 2048 x 1358 wide, but have to reduce to 2000 wide to fit it into the requirements here)? Here is the image on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/markjwyatt/33957512398/in/dateposted-family/
